I know what you're saying and that is a fact: usually if you're exposed to music for long enough you'll end up liking it, or, more likely, just getting used to it. It's what has us humming the most godawful pop tunes despite our better judgement if we've heard them enough ("Baby I'm toxic!"....) but the point is do you put yourself deliberately in a situation where, having listened to an album and not liked it or been blown away by it, you think I'll give that a few more goes, or do you say no, didn't like it, on to the next one, and never go back to it? That's a conscious decision I feel we all either make or don't make.
